Our Review:
How most of us would have wished and wanted to meet, a creature or two that would pop out and surprise us. The script Fins tells the story of one of the most spoken mythical creature, the Mermaids. Some times it doesn't matter what's said is it's true or not, but all that matters is how well it's said. Fins is one such story that expands the possibility of humans to connect with nature beyond our imagination. Fins is a playful script that narrates the story of a grieving elderly man, his family and his new found friendship, which sees mythical figure from fairy tales living in the contemporary society.
